JAMA electronic periodicals

Université Laval is seeking to procure electronic periodicals from JAMA through a direct award contract. This procurement falls under the category of Publications, Forms, and Paper Articles, with a specific focus on electronic documentation. The rationale for the direct award is based on Article 14, which permits contracts below the public tender threshold. This indicates that the anticipated value of the subscription for these electronic resources is below the threshold that would necessitate a full public tender process. Université Laval, as an academic institution, relies on access to high-quality research journals to support its teaching, research, and academic activities. JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) is a prominent medical journal, and its electronic subscription provides essential access to current medical research and clinical information for faculty, researchers, and students. The direct award mechanism allows for a streamlined procurement process for this specific, likely recurring, subscription service. The university has determined that this method is appropriate given the nature and value of the goods being procured, ensuring timely access to critical academic resources.

This is a supplies contract in the media and communication and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Publishing and General Supplies. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
